Getting to and from the airport

Flights departing from London

London is an important European city that needs no introduction. It serves as the capital of England and is served by Luton, Stansted, Southend, Heathrow, London City and Gatwick airports. Only one of these - London City - is located in central London and the rest are connected by high speed trains.

Non-stop flights from London to Miami take nearly 10 hours to complete the journey. Gatwick Airport is the second busiest airport in London, but its single runway is often touted as the world's busiest with a capability of handling a flight almost every second. Heathrow Airport is internationally known and is 22 kilometres away from central London.

Getting to London airport

Long distance journeys - such as the ones that London to Miami flights make - provide a great opportunity for passengers to get some quality sleep, read an entire novel or spend time day-dreaming. To ensure that you reach your designated airport in time, make sure that you know from where your plane is taking off. Once you determine that information, get yourself to one of the train stations in central London. Paddington Station, Victoria Station and other stations connect Heathrow, Gatwick, and other airports via high-speed trains. London City Airport is already within the city and all you need to do is hail a taxi or hop on a bus from wherever you are.

Arriving to Miami

Miami is a uniquely Latin American city in the heart of America. Thanks to a large number of people with Cuban, Mexican and South American heritages, Miami has a distinct Latin American feel to it. This is best observed in Little Havana, where you can pick up Cuban cigars and enjoy traditional coffee shops. The city is also known for its bars, clubs and parties, all of which are best experienced at South Beach. Spend some time in Miami's downtown, which is known for its historical buildings. If you want to grab a coffee or some snacks, the best place is Coral Way. Coconut Grove is another interesting and bohemian place to spend time.

How to get to the city centre

Flights to Miami from London arrive at Miami International Airport, which is only 13 kilometres from the city centre. All you need to do is get on one of the Orange Line trains run by Metrorail to reach Coconut Grove, downtown Miami and other destinations. It takes only 15 minutes to reach downtown on a Metrorail train. Another option is to hop on an Airport Flyer bus, which makes a stop at the legendary Lincoln Road in South Beach region. There are also taxis and coaches available to various parts of Miami, and it is always convenient to know that you will be able to reach your hotel's door step without a significant amount of walking.
